Doctor Henry Morgan may be immortal but his TV show isn’t. ABC has cancelled the Forever TV series after one season of 22 episodes.
On the Forever TV show, New York City’s star medical examiner (Ioan Gruffudd) can ascertain things that most can not because of his vast experience — he’s been alive for 200 years but can’t figure out the how or the why. The rest of the cast includes Alana de la Garza, Lorraine Toussaint, Donnie Keshawarz, Joel David Moore, and Judd Hirsch.
The series debuted last September to a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.26 million viewers. The ratings grew for episode two but they started falling after that.
Though the Forever series had some very passionate fans, that devotion didn’t translate into positive ratings. The numbers were pretty poor for much of the season and the show ended up averaging a 1.12 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.93 million viewers.
As a result, ABC has decided against ordering a second season of Forever. The last episode aired earlier this week and unfortunately left viewers with lots of unanswered questions.
What do you think? Did you like the Forever TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season? Why do you think it didn’t catch on with a larger audience?
With all the crap on TV this is the show that is cancelled, unbelievable. This show has too writers, actors, and plots and should not be cancelled.
Yet, another ‘brilliant’ idea from the powers-that-be, AKA: Administration and their numbers department. One season. Just when it got going, everyone talking about it, now cannot find it. Way to go, ABC, for dropping a good thing. Hopefully another company picks it up and shows you what you’re missing.
I love the show. It is my favorite show on ABC … very sad to see it cancelled.
I think it’s terrible you cancelled Forever!! PLEASE give this show at least one more season. If you feel 10pm is a poor time slot then move to another time slot and or day. I watched every Episode and couldn’t wait for the next one. I even recorded episodes so I could watch later being able to fast forward thru commercials.
Once again, PLEASE re-instate Forever!!
Thank you….
NOOOOOOOOO say it isn’t so it is a GREAT show i can never catch it on TV so i have to watch it online but it’s a great show
how come you cancel the best drama action sustence show ever abc!!!!!!!
I love the show and cannot believe it was cancelled. All the a actors are excellent and storyline is awesome. I have re-watched the episodes each probably five times or more. I’m extremely sad never would have thought it would be cancelled.
very sad to see another great series cancelled again. you get into a series and then after one show it is gone. with so much competiton out there they should realise it will be tough and you can’t keep cancelling everything after one go.
Love the show. I think they should NOT have cancelled it. It was one of my favorits. They keep the reality shows that are practically the exact same thing from season to season(and stupid for that matter). I hope they reconsider and bring it back. Nothing else was on TV worth watching on Tuesday evenings. I will miss it a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That figures. The ones I really like get cancelled while the stupid reality shows go on forever. Hopefully, a more enlightened CBS ( REALLY HAS SOME GREAT SHOWS) will pick it up. I have stopped watching a lot of ABC shows. Who is making these decisions? Should be fired.
I can believe they are cancelling this show because most of the people in this country seem to like those idiotic, senseless reality series. Two prime cases in point to the American mentality “Duck Dynasty” (what a joke, the people on the show are yuppies who found they could make a fortune by catering to the stupidity of this country) and “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”, really! Along comes a relatively family friendly show with a different twist and great characters and it’s gone. Sad.
My husband and I love this show and can’t believe it has been cancelled. I hope the fans can make the network reconsider and bring it back for another year. You are making a mistake.
It’s cancellation came as no great surprise to me. Judd Hirsch was the only one that made the show worth watching. The rest of the show was predictable, derivative, and just plain boring. The story of the immortal with a secret has been done several times, and this was nowhere close to the best rendition of it. The actors (with the aforementioned exception) were only OK in their performances, playing stereotypes and 1 dimensional characters. Yes, this was probably due to the bad writing as opposed to the ability of the actors themselves. I’ll miss seeing Judd on weekly television,… Read more »
Good show leave it on….
the show forever is great show but does repeat scenes with too much discriptions with no suspend or mystery. None the less it was better than the other tv show and deserve a second season , third , fourth.
Excellent entertaining show with good characters.
